DISY deputy leader Giannis Karousos criticized for misreading election results and party tactics
DISY deputy leader Giannis Karousos has come under fire for misinterpreting the recent parliamentary election results, with critics arguing he overestimated the party's political standing. Following the vote, Karousos appeared convinced that DISY had secured a strong enough voter base to assure success in the 2028 presidential race. However, this optimistic assessment is being widely questioned.
Critics highlight that DISY’s parliamentary campaign was marked by a strategic shift, where the party downplayed its opposition role to appear cooperative with the ruling coalition. This move, aimed at attracting voters supporting President Christodoulides, was seen as a tactical ploy rather than a genuine change in direction. Many argue this approach misled voters and that the party is now attempting to resume a more traditional opposition stance ahead of the presidential election.
The controversy raises concerns about the authenticity of DISY’s political positioning and calls for transparency as the party navigates its internal divisions and prepares for future contests. Observers caution against disguising personal ambitions as party or national interests amid growing public scrutiny.
